BENTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — An officer fired a weapon as a vehicle sped toward him during an arrest at a Benton Harbor “mobile nuisance party,” the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety said.

It happened during the early morning hours of Sunday when officers were trying to clear out what they called a “mobile nuisance party” at a gas station on Pipestone Road near M-139 in Benton Township, the department wrote in a news release. Officers got information that a man they had been looking for who they say had a weapon during a previous complaint was sitting in a car on Pipestone Road.

Two police cruisers pulled up to the scene with lights on, wearing full uniforms and tried to approach the man, who ran away, police said. The officers chased him and one unsuccessfully tried to use a Taser on him. The man kept going, through the crowd and then back toward Pipestone, where he reached into a parked car’s door to try to open it. The driver began to drive away, swerving toward an officer while the suspect continued to hold onto the window. The driver kept driving “at a high rate of speed,” officers said, with the man still holding onto the window.

“It was in this space that the vehicle began to come right at one of the officers and that officer used his service pistol in self-defense,” police wrote.

No one in the vehicle, including the man holding onto the window, were injured, according to police.

After the vehicle continued south for a bit and eventually stopped, the man hanging onto the car was taken into custody. He was booked into the Berrien County Jail, police said. They did not release his identity.

“There has been information circulated from an un-official source that the male had passed away, this is not true,” the department wrote.

Michigan State Police are investigating since the officer fired his weapon, as is standard protocol.
